How to choose the right artist for you

Reviews matter - but also look at portfolio alignment (does their work match the style you want?), responsiveness and communication, whether they offer trials, insurance, and cancellation policies. A higher price from a fully-booked, 5-star artist is almost always a better investment than a lower price from an artist with limited reviews.
